How We Rank Lawyers

Our rankings use a Bayesian Average algorithm (similar to IMDB's Top 250) that balances both rating quality and review volume. This prevents lawyers with a single 5-star review from ranking above those with hundreds of excellent reviews.

Rating QualityHigher star ratings (4.5-5.0) are weighted more favorably
📊
Review VolumeMore reviews increase confidence in the rating
⚖️
Balanced ApproachLawyers need both quality AND quantity to rank well
Fair & UnbiasedRankings based solely on verified Google reviews
